Of course there are pulmonary issues, and cardiovascular issues, but there are also brain-centered problems:<br /><br /><i>Our results also showed an excess burden of sleep–wake disorders (14.53 (11.53–17.36), anxiety and fear-related disorders (5.42 (3.42–7.29)), and trauma- and stress-related disorders (8.93 (6.62–11.09)). These findings were coupled with evidence of excess burden of incident use of non-opioid (19.97 (17.41–22.40)) and opioid (9.39 (7.21–11.43)) analgesic drugs, antidepressant agents (7.83 (5.19–10.30)), and benzodiazepine, sedative and anxiolytic agents (22.23 (20.68–23.67)).</i>Cranberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192766384424717627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-55676736094962095522021-06-26T22:47:48.272-04:002021-06-26T22:47:48.272-04:00BTW, you might want to change the post's title...BTW, you might want to change the post's title.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-24284222036638855842021-06-26T22:47:22.670-04:002021-06-26T22:47:22.670-04:00That's very interesting.

The font of all knowledge claims that problems in the orbitofrontal cortex are associated with some psychiatric disorders, but I haven't yet heard of anything like that among the Covid after-effects.<br /><br />Or are some of these changes within normal range of variability?jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.com
